> The Government has no plans to stop the introduction of Digital ID cards, and is working closely with companies to implement it as quickly and effectively as possible to enable UK users to benefit from its protections.

> A year after Mario Draghi’s doorstop-sized report urged the EU to improve its competitiveness, the former Italian prime minister warned instead last week that the bloc was falling further behind its global rivals. For all the efforts to bolster resilience in the face of Trump’s tariffs and demands for Europe to fund more of its own defence, Draghi warned that “inaction” on structural reforms by Brussels and EU states “threatens not only our competitiveness but our sovereignty itself”.

Of Draghi’s 383 recommendations, including integrating capital markets, strengthening supply chains and aligning business regulations, an audit by the European Policy Innovation Council found only 11 per cent had been adopted. Deutsche Bank analysts found most progress had been in scaling up the defence industry, where the urgency was felt most strongly, and in areas of least resistance such as cutting red tape — though this had sometimes been done in ham-fisted ways.

- Germany is currently not opposed to it (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45273854).
- EU doesn't require all countries to support it on the council level (or parliament level). You just need at least 55% countries (at least 15) that represent at least 65% of citizens. To block it you need at least 4 countries that represent at least 35% of citizens, we are at ≈22%.
